Q. & A. with Crystal
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to put our passion for these dogs to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine!
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised with love in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to leave with their new families. They are affectionate, intelligent, and cute as can be!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn, sable, white and black, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
